AMLE Content Areas

AMLE publishes a wide range of materials devoted to
management education in colleges and universities, and indeed, in all
organizations that formally foster learning about management, in four
content areas:

Research & Reviews

We seek a variety of articles, including quantitative and qualitative empirical manuscripts, theoretical discourses and models, literature reviews, and general or specific appraisals of approaches to individual learning and management education. Authors of submissions for this section are encouraged to consider prior literature as well as relevant theoretical perspectives when developing their manuscripts. At AMLE the nature of the contribution to the literature can also be practical, such as when a new teaching or assessment technique is demonstrated to work better than other established techniques. Papers describing courses or curricula, or the methods used to create them, are generally not appropriate for our journal. We are not a teaching-practice journal that publishes descriptive work; instead, we are a scholarly journal that publishes rigorous logical and empirical analyses of courses, curricula, programs, and other practices within business schools.

When submitting quantitative empirical papers, authors are encouraged to include a correlation matrix of all variables, including descriptive statistics. In addition, we ask that for every significance test conducted, an effect size must be provided. There are two major classes of effect
sizes appropriate for most statistical tests. The first class of effect sizes involves standardized mean differences. Effect sizes in this class include indices such as Glass' Δ , Hedges' g, and Cohen's d. Because most analyses reported in our journal are part of one General Linear Model family, variance-accounted-for
effect sizes are the other option. Effect sizes in this second
class include indices such as r2, R2, and ŋ2.

Although there is no formal page limit, manuscripts submitted for
this section are typically between 20 and 40 pages. As always, length
should reflect the value of the contribution. Prospective authors are
welcome to contact the editor at:

Essays and Dialogues

We are interested in a wide variety of provocative manuscripts on
current and future issues and trends in teaching, learning, and
management education for this section of the journal. Essays are
original commentaries or critiques. Narrative accounts of author
experiences with specific instructional technologies, techniques,
courses, or program creation are not essays. Dialogues are responses to papers previously published in AMLE. Submissions
should follow the SUBMISSION INFORMATION guidelines below, and
prospective authors are welcome to discuss ideas with the associate
editor listed below:

Dialogues are rooted in Exemplary Contributions, Research &
Reviews, or Essays published in AMLE, and should broadly advance the
state of scholarship in the area of the target paper as opposed to being
primarily critiques of the reasoning or methodology of the target
paper. Authors of the target paper will not normally be allowed to
respond to a Dialogue, except when the Editor and relevant Associate
Editors deem that such a response could add significant value. In such
instances, Dialogue and the response from the author of the target
article will appear contiguously.

Before developing an interview-type manuscript, prospective authors
are strongly encouraged to consult with the section editor to ensure
that their topic and approach is consistent with AMLE's mission and
audience.

Exemplary Contributions

Exemplary Contributions are invited from prominent scholars
and practitioners. Please do not submit uninvited manuscripts for this
section. However we encourage you to send suggestions of individuals who
have made significant contributions to individual learning and
management education, those whom should be encouraged to write for AMLE, to:

Book & Resource Reviews

AMLE publishes reviews relevant to individual learning and
management education (books, videos, simulations, exercises, etc.),
which are designated and coordinated by the associate editor listed
below. We welcome reviews of materials that can be used by management
educators, practitioners, and researchers and are particularly
interested in reviews of resources drawn from across the
disciplines. Unsolicited reviews will not be accepted.

Dual Perspectives: A New AMLE Book and Resource
Review Feature

At AMLE, we are always searching for new and
interesting ways to bring you insight on management education and
learning resources. In keeping with this, we are excited to
introduce an occasional new feature, Dual Perspectives.
This feature will showcase the review of one resource by two
different scholars. It is our hope that providing side-by-side
reviews will allow you to compare how the work has been received by
different audiences, and as such, better allow you to decide how
this may benefit your work. Enjoy!

We encourage
readers interested in writing reviews and those who have suggestions of
materials for review to contact:
